I'm doing a bit of caoch work at Farnborough this week. I have to say that the Airbus is very impressive when flying dead slow. There is also a display where the fighter plane just seems to fall out of the sky turning nose over tail a couple of times.
The coaches are parked right next to the end of the runway so we have a better view than most.

For those who prefer pics with their words, may I suggest this. My 4yr old loves it. :smt064

If you want some cool aircraft photos check out this lad's piccies (http://www.fotothing.com/Powermike/). I'd not asked him how he's got access to some airfields yet :wink: :lol:
